creating a Mirror site - need help with rsync

[SupermanInNY]

Hi Y'all,

I need some help in creating a mirror site using rsync.

When I run the rsync command I get the following error:

rsync localhost::
rsync: failed to connect to localhost: Connection refused
rsync error: error in socket IO (code 10) at clientserver.c(83)

This should have worked (I'm not really sure what values I should get, but that's what I see here:

If anyone has a suggestion, please let me know.

This is a quote from the link you gave:

If you get an error like failed to connect to localhost - Connection refused, then something properly went wrong in the inetd configuration. Watch for error in /var/adm/messages or similar file. Did you remember to reinitialize inetd?

Have you tried that?

Yep, I read through that too, but my problems are:

1. I don't have /adm in my installation.
2. yum intall rsync or yum update rsync tells me it is all current.
3. I'm not that savvy with the linux world, so I have xinetd and not 'just' inetd. I'm not sure of the difference between them or if this is generic pending the vendor.
4. I'm not even sure what exactly to put in it to make it work properly
5. back to the logging portion, where is the logging kept?

Thanks,

-Alon.

/var/log/messages is usually the standard.
